I thought I'd travelled back in time.

All of this weekends Premier league and EFL games have been called off.
Not sure what happens about Tuesday nights game?
Fkn ridiculous. How is it a sign of respect to cancel games and deny people the opportunity to watch a game of football. As well as people who work for clubs, alot of who desperately need the money in this time just to live. We have another 10 days of mourning, god knows what else will be cancelled in that time.
Tend to agree, don't see how cancelling enjoyment is showing respect. Don't think the queen would have wanted that.
She loved sport and understood what it means. She hated missing Ascot
No better respect to have a ground full of people showing respect for 5/10 mins and celebrating her life.
They are being postponed not cancelled ffs.
But there's no reason to postpone. FFS
Well there is a reason, not one you agree with obviously, but there is a reason.
Ffs.
So, what did everyone do instead?
Did everyone sit in sombre silence?
I did some gardening and went for a swim. Boring as fook.
So, no football for 11 days?

The EFL website says fixtures from 9-10 September postponed. Doesn't say any others are.

Good...god bless the Queen...God save the King
Our game next Saturday will almost certainly be on.

I think we will draw with Burton and Plymouth.
So why aren’t any other games being postponed then? I thought the country was in a period of mourning, until she’s been buried? Why postpone today’s games: what did that achieve?
If we draw with Burton I will not be pleased although it would be a typical example of Pompey coming unstuck
Look, it's perfectly simple. It is totally inappropriate for sport to take place in a period of mourning. That's why, as a mark of respect to the lady, all sport was called off today.
Except the rugby (because the ball's a different shape).
Oh, and the golf at Wentworth as golf is a much quieter sport and already respectful.
And, er, the racing 'cos she liked a little flutter and the ladies cricket at Durham which would be discriminate against women and.....
Being Mrs Hammie's birthday, I actually remembered and organised a lunch with the grandchildren.
We'd only have lost at Barnsley anyhow, I can be equally depressed on a Tuesday evening some time soon.
I was on my way back from Eastbourne after finishing the South Downs Way.
I would have gone via London for the Rejoin March but that was postponed too.
I must admit ( hind sight being 20-20 and all that), that the weekend games could’ve ( and should’ve) gone ahead ( possibly moving the 1200 KO back to 1500 for the accession). Especially as many other events weren’t postponed. Marks of respect could’ve been paid by many. I can understand postponing games on the day of the actual funeral. Anyway like Liz Truss I’ve changed my mind. PUP GSTK.
Apparently the FA made the decision because they were worried some fans would not show respect.
They could have just called off the Liverpool game.

How many sections did your walk take Scouse? I’d like to walk it before Cuadrilla drill the shit out of it.

I really don't know why you didn't carry on walking a bit further moosh, you could have found an illegals boat on the beach at Dover and done a reverse crossing to the European Useless promised land
Job done - one happy Scouser !!
I dont understand it.
The Cricket was on Saturday as was the rugby.
Why couldnt we have a minutes silence, a minutes applause, wear black armbands and get on with it?

So you are a hiker then Scouse? Great way to see the countryside, good for you and there is usually a good pub at the end.
Shame you had to spoil it all by mentioning the EU, but each to his/her own
.
Glad to see that the totally pointless march was postponed though, it would have been a totally pointless exercise. Only a complete idiot would rejoin that total disaster of a ‘Union’.
